Latest version of market-leading disputes management solution helps banks speed case resolutions
Pegasystems Inc., the low-code platform provider empowering the world’s leading enterprises to Build for Change, announced new enhancements in Pega Smart Dispute to help retail banks streamline time-consuming chargeback processes. By infusing its Pega Process AI technology into the software, Pega helps banks make smarter decisions to resolve each case, enabling them to save time, money, and effort while accelerating the resolution of transaction disputes and fraud claims for its customers.
Chargebacks – the process by which consumers dispute the validity of a card transaction – are on the rise around the world, partially driven by an increase in fraud. Each request kicks off a time-intensive process for the card-issuing bank, which needs to carefully investigate these disputes, determine if a refund is warranted, and work with the various payment networks‘ complex and ever-changing rules to process them.

Adding AI to Pega Smart Dispute to drive chargeback efficiencies
By using Pega Process AI within Pega Smart Dispute, the software automatically analyzes a transaction dispute to predict the likelihood of it being approved through the validation rules of payment networks like Visa. With that critical information, banks can optimize an efficient and low-cost path to resolution. For example, the bank might automate cases with a high success probability while assigning more human resources to investigate low probability cases. This not only saves banks labor costs but also leads to faster resolution for their customers.
Pega Process AI combines Pega’s industry-leading workflow automation with real-time AI-powered decisioning, natural language processing (NLP), and complex event processing to optimize and automate business processes. It simplifies complex real-time decisioning with data-driven, AI-infused arbitration to resolve cases quickly and efficiently. Pega Process AI continuously learns from the outcomes of its previous predictions and decisions, helping to improve accuracy and effectiveness over time. Pega Smart Dispute comes preconfigured with Pega Process AI use cases to predict chargeback outcomes for network acceptance and representments. Pega Process AI can also escalate work that may be in danger of missing a deadline or to optimize workflows to make processes more efficient. Clients around the world leverage Pega’s AI engine to make hundreds of millions of decisions every day.
